Jemez Photographic Exhibit

Beginning with the photo exhibit, visitors will find themselves engaged in a journey from the time of our origins through centuries of migration, change and adaptation into the new millennium. The Photo Exhibit demonstrates the way of life circa World War II. These photographs display timeless harmony and effectiveness of a way of life now largely passed, one that deserves respect and renewed attention. Most of the photos were taken by the NM Soil Conservation Service Photographers in 1936-1937 and were from the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology Collection at the University of New Mexico. Additional photos are from the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles.

Jemez Today...

Through the course of our history, the people of Jemez have faced enormous challenges and continually found ways to adapt and survive. Today, Jemez is a growing community of 3,500 people. Tribal members commute to jobs in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Bernalillo and Los Alamos. Others own businesses as veterinarians, lawyers, mechanics, contractors, cabinetmakers and artisans, while still others work locally as tribal employees. Many members supplement their living with small farm and livestock operations. Our tribal lands cover 88,000 acres including productive farm lands along the Jemez River and natural resources such as timber, sand & gravel, and (still untapped) geothermal energy. The Pueblo of Jemez is not a gaming tribe (we have no casinos), however visitors traveling through the area have become an important source of support for the Pueblo as demands for Jemez arts and crafts have grown.
